Prepare Your Poster·

Each presenter is provided with a 4-foot-high by 4-foot-wide poster board

The presentation must cover the material as cited in the abstract

Place the title of your paper prominently at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify your paper

Highlight the authors’ names and contact information in case the viewer is interested in more information

Prepare diagrams or charts legibly in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2 meters.

Paragraph and figure captions should be at least in a 24-point font (0.9 cm height) and headers at least in a 36-point font (1.2 cm height). Be creative by using different font sizes and styles, perhaps even color

When working with graphs or charts, use different colors and textures/symbols for each line or bar.

Use a serif font (e.g., Times New Roman) or a non-serif font (e.g., Arial or Helvetica)

Organize the presentation so it is clear, orderly, and self-explanatory

Use squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to group similar ideas. Avoid cluttering your poster with too much text. Label different elements as I, II, III; or 1, 2, 3; or A, B, C, making it easier for a viewer to follow your display

Include the background of your research followed by materials and methods including statistical methods, results and conclusions. A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey information to an interested audience

Remember to make sure it's professional!

Remove Your Poster

Posters must be removed by 1:00 P.M., Saturday, July 30. Posters remaining after this time will be removed and recycled.
